King’s Writer

King's Writer was a position held by the royal scribes of the Reunited Kingdom. This entailed making the official records of Gondor, working directly with original sources.

Findegil, a King's Writer of renown presumably under the kingship of Eldarion in the Fourth Age, is known to have made at least one copy of the Red Book of Westmarch in Minas Tirith. Indeed, in Fourth Age 171, Findegil finished a copy to create the Thain's Book.
